So, what does everyone reckon the best distro is? I reckon Mandriva, because it's easy and English. But SUSE has more stuff!! What do you think everyone?

CentOS on servers, Fedora - desktop. In general questions isn't correct. There isn't silver bullet in OS field, every distro have it's own niche. |

I personally think that the best dsitros are Arch Linux and Gentoo and Kubuntu/Ubuntu for people who doesn't know anything about Linux.

I chose SuSE Linux because of its ease of use and powerful tools for professionals, zipped in one package.
Furthermore, I pinned the post since there are a couple of related posts and we don't want the exact same question asked later. xboxrulz |

I have to go Ubuntu and Kubuntu as they are the only ones I have used (I know they are pretty much the same, the only difference being Desktop Environment). I would like to try Fedora but the download is so darn big!

SuSE. Im gonna upgrade to 10.2 when its out. I like how WiFi works and my videocard right of the box. My only complaint is my soudcard. I had to go to edit. (Not actually change anything, but just open up the edit window).
If only SuSE had the ability to upgrad the distro like Ubuntu did.. |

I use linux and windows, I also like linux better but I still need windows for a few reasons
alot of my favorite programs only run on windows such as photoshop and flash 8 professional. I use suse linux 10.1 and that is one of the reasons I like linux because its FREE!  , I also like the security of linux. unfortunatly I am still in a linux class and I only know 20% of linux commands. I give Linux 5 out of 10 I give windows 7 out of 10 |

I'm currently running Ubuntu and I've been very happy with it. And for people who want to brand Ubuntu as n00b Linux, I'd like to say that there are many of us IT pros who just like the simplicity.
Previously I've used Red Hat, Mandrake and Debian and I don't really have bad things to say about any of them. |
